Sure, the big draw is Ru Paul. I saw her in Savannah and it was, literally, a tranny mess. But everybody has an off day. Those similarly concerned can take heart that there is a healthy list of fellow entertainers.

Including Richard Cortez (above). What? You thought we just put a shirtless guy on this post for kicks?

Here's a rundown of entertainers and the calendar of events.

SC Pride: South Carolina IS So Gay!

You go girls!:

"We truly believe that this week, South Carolina is 'so gay,' " said Ryan Wilson, president of SC Pride.

The annual South Carolina Pride Festival and Celebration is being held in Columbia this week. Events include a film festival, parade and appearance by entertainer and female impersonator RuPaul. Wilson said he expects about 7,000 to attend.

For the record, it seems like we always miss out on Pride. There's always something going on somewhere. This year, we're in town for family stuff. But don't let that stop you. Get on up to Columbia and shake your rainbow.

Geez. So much going on. Here's a link to the larger calendar. I'll be posting about particular events later.

In the Life In the Lowcountry

Posted by Greg Hambrick on Mon, Sep 8, 2008 at 10:05 AM

From AFFA:

"In The Life" is a monthly television show aired on PBS stations across the country-but not in SC-that documents the full range of the LGBT experience and the issues that impact our lives and our communities through stories on politics and public policy, personal and community health, religion and spirituality, and more.

AFFA has arranged with InTheLifeTV for advance copies of the show to air here in a project co-sponsored by AFFA and INTERWEAVE, the GLBT outreach of the Unitarian Church at Gage Hall from 5:30 to 7:30 pm on Sundays, Sept 14, Oct 5, and Nov 2.  Light refreshments.  Admission is free.
